I couldn't find much information for Azerbaijan but it looks like I need some sort of license from the government. How can I start my own university in Azerbaijan and what do I need to do so?

The Law on Education is here, and Article 16 states the licensing and accreditation requirements. The duration of the license depends on who is applying:
Private and municipal educational institutions founded by the individuals and legal entities of the Azerbaijan Republic are issued special permits (license) for a 5-year period. The educational institutions founded by the foreign individuals and legal entities are issued special permits (license) for not less than 3 years.
Articles 22-23 apply to universities.
The executive agencies in charge of licensing are the Ministries of Education and Economics, the former being most in charge. As you can see they only speak in broad terms about their obligations and powers, and do not say what their legal requirements or process is, suggesting it is highly discretionary.
